Accidents in and around Cary

Cary sits between Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle, so I-40, US-1, and US-64 do the heavy lifting twice a day. Most crashes here are commuter crashes. Low speed, high volume, a lot of stop-and-go — and those are the ones people wave off at the scene, say they're fine, turn down the ambulance, then wake up two days later unable to turn their head. By then they've already told an adjuster on a recorded line that nothing hurt. North Carolina's rule has no give. One percent of fault and you recover nothing. Cary cases go through the Wake County courts, and the filing deadline is 3 years.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Cary?

The Cary Police Department handles crashes inside town limits. On I-40, US-1, and US-64 the NC State Highway Patrol is frequently the responding agency, and in unincorporated parts of the county it may be the Wake County Sheriff's Office. The NC Division of Motor Vehicles also takes crash-report requests statewide. Confirm the agency and report number at the scene. Don't work it out later from memory.

Which court would handle my injury case in Cary?

Cary is in Wake County, so a filed injury suit goes through the Wake County courts, which sit in downtown Raleigh rather than in Cary. North Carolina splits civil cases between District Court and Superior Court depending on the amount claimed. Most claims are settled with an insurer and never reach a courtroom at all. The deadline to file in North Carolina is 3 years from the crash.

My crash was right on the line between Cary and Apex. Who handles the report?

It depends on which side of the town line you were on and which department was dispatched, so it may be Cary Police, Apex Police, or the NC State Highway Patrol if you were on US-1 or US-64. Both towns sit in Wake County, so a filed suit lands in the same courthouse either way. Pin down the exact cross street while it's fresh.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury; wrongful death 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
